No Turning Back

He set his face
to Jerusalem,
to face his foes,
to give his life
for sinners -
no turning back!

He took the cup
of human woes,
of divine wrath
for human sin -
no turning back!

Forgiving
all who come,
he offers life -
none too bad,
none turned away –
his only call
to come,
to come with all,
no holding back,
no turning back!

He calls
to come with him,
to follow,
to learn,
to grow,
to serve...

I’m coming,
Lord!
No turning back!
